   G                                                                                                 Em

1.    So while I'm turning in my sheets, and once again I cannot sleep,

                                                                                                             C

    walk out the door and up the street, look at the stars beneath my feet,

                                                                         G

    remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go

 

                                                                Em

2. Hello, hello, there is no place I cannot go

                                                                                      C

    my mind is muddy but, my heart is heavy, does it show ?

                                                                   G

    I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.

                                    - Em                               -  C

    Hu hu hu hu hu hu,          hu hu hu hu hu hu,        hu hu hu hu hu hu.

 

  G                                                                                                        Em

3.   And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night,

                                                                                     C

    said he'd seen my enemy, said he looked just like me,

                                                               G

    so I set out to cut myself, and here I go.

                                   - Em                              -  C                          G   - D

    Hu hu hu hu hu hu,        hu hu hu hu hu hu,      hu hu hu hu hu hu.

 

C                                  G

    I'm not calling for a second chance,

          Bm                                  Em

I'm screaming at the top of my voice.

C                                   Em

    Give me reason, but don't give me choice,

                 C                    D                       G

’cause I'll just make the same mistake again.   + Hu hu hu hu hu hu.  

 

  G                                                                                                        Em

3.  And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak,

                                                                                              C

    don’t buy the promises, ’cause there are no promises I keep,

                                                                     G

    and my reflection troubles me, so here I go.

 

 

 

 

 

                                  - Em                              -  C                           G   - D

    Hu hu hu hu hu hu,        hu hu hu hu hu hu,      hu hu hu hu hu hu.

 

+ CHORUS (leave out last word)

 

C                                  G

    I'm not calling for a second chance,

          Bm                                  Em

I'm screaming at the top of my voice.

C                                    Em

    Give me reason, but don't give me choice,

                 C                    D                       G

’cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

 

                                   - Em                                 -  C                      

    Hu hu hu hu hu hu,          hu hu hu hu hu hu,        hu hu hu hu hu hu.

G                                                                             Em

    Hu hu hu hu hu hu, so while I'm turning in my sheets,

                                                                              C

    hu hu hu hu hu hu, and once again I cannot sleep,

                                                                                     G

    hu hu hu hu hu hu, walk out the door and up the street.

                                                                 - C

    Hu hu hu hu hu hu, look at the stars,

                                                                        Em

    hu hu hu hu hu hu, look at the stars falling down,

                                                              C

    hu hu hu hu hu hu, and I wonder where,

                                                   G

    hu hu hu hu hu hu, did I go wrong ?
